A 20-year-old Taunton man was arrested and charged with assault with intent to murder, according to the Taunton Police Department.

Terrence Woodson, 20, of 90B Staple St, was arrested Monday on a warrant for an assault to murder charge, after a melee broke out last week near 296 Winthrop St., according to the Taunton Police Department.

Several people were wounded as a result of the alleged assault on Aug. 7, including Woodson himself, Taunton police said.

The full police report was not immediately available at the police department on Monday, but it will be released at Taunton District Court when Woodson is arraigned, and police said it should be available at the Taunton police records department on Tuesday.

“It’s a pretty lengthy report,” said Taunton Police Sgt. Michael Tremblay, who said that it was a complicated case, because of changing stories.

Taunton police detectives were first called by Morton Hospital after several stab wound victims were admitted for treatment, Tremblay said.

“This defendant was also present, getting treated, along with some of the victims,” said Tremblay, who had limited information available about the case.

The incident happened near the Burger King on Route 44, on Winthrop Street.

As a result of the investigation, Woodson was arrested at his home on Monday at 2:07 p.m.

In January 2010, Woodson was one of five men arrested and charged with possession of two sawed-off shotguns in Taunton.

Woodson was a standout football player for the Taunton High School team. He was named an Old Colony League All-Star for the 2009 season.
